The associate and affiliate podcast is an attempt to expand coverage of associate tournaments by obtaining local knowledge of the relevant nations. If you have or intend to go to a tournament at associate level - men's women's, ICC, unaffiliated - then please get in touch in the comments or by email.

In the second episode Andrew Nixon (@andrewnixon79) and I are joined by Jon Newton (@newtonjcricket), founder of nforcesports.com. We discuss ICC qualification routes and their effect, developing cricket in China, the legacy of the Asian Games, cricket in the media, and the Chinese national team's development, particularly the women who came second in the recently concluded ACC Women's Championship. Appropriately, it was also Chinese New Year, so there are some periodic background fireworks to set the mood.
